Why does the Nissan Teana make a buzzing sound when accelerating?

Teana makes a buzzing sound due to excessive internal clearance in the continuously variable transmission. Nissan Teana fuel system fault conditions: A crisp sound similar to clicking or rattling, from the perspective of engine compression ratio design, such cases are more common with 3.5-liter displacement engines, relatively rare for Teana 2.5L displacement engines. For 2.5L abnormal noise faults, if the sound is particularly harsh and occurs frequently. Main causes of abnormal noise in Nissan Teana engine: Check coolant, oil pressure too high or too low, inspect oil pressure gauge, possible incorrect ignition timing settings, dirty air filter, old spark plugs, faulty ignition coil, unclean gasoline (e.g., water in fuel lines).
When the Altima makes a humming noise upon acceleration, I suspect it might be an issue with the engine belt system—looseness or wear can produce that kind of humming sound. Power steering pump failure often behaves similarly, especially with more noticeable noise during acceleration. Another possibility is a clogged air filter, where restricted airflow causes the engine to struggle and hum. Alternatively, an aging fuel pump might supply fuel unevenly, resulting in noise. A common culprit could also be a faulty water pump or air conditioning compressor bearing, creating abnormal sounds during rotation. It's advisable to start by checking the belt and filter; a simple cleaning or adjustment might solve the problem. If the humming worsens at specific RPMs, don’t delay—get it inspected at a professional shop immediately. Ignoring it could lead to major failures, and repair costs won’t be cheap.
From my perspective, the buzzing noise is mostly caused by transmission components, such as a damaged power steering pump or loose belt tensioner creating friction sounds. Blockages in the intake system can also affect acceleration and produce a humming noise, as can insufficient fuel supply due to issues like a faulty fuel pump. If the sound is noticeable during low-speed acceleration, suspect an exhaust pipe leak or bearing wear. It's recommended to use a simple stethoscope to locate the noise source and try replacing the air filter or tightening the belt first. Regular maintenance of these areas can prevent problems and avoid noise escalation that could damage the engine.
